Anti-friction Bearings and Lubricants Under Electric Current

Mehr zum Buch

The book provides a comprehensive analysis of anti-friction bearings and lubricants in the context of electric current, spanning nine chapters. Key topics include the threshold voltage phenomenon, electrical parameters, and the deterioration of lubricants due to shaft voltages. It introduces a theoretical framework for diagnosing bearings, focusing on capacitance, resistance, and charge accumulation. Additionally, the work examines the impact of voltage levels on lubricant resistivity and bearing lifespan, employing an electrical analogy to determine dynamic coefficients and the formation of surface defects.
